Blockchain

Blockchain will change your life. In this concise, lively and often humorous account, Stephen P. Williams renders this impenetrable technology accessible.

Blockchain technology is rolling through our culture, with no sign of stopping. Goldman Sachs has committed to trading in blockchain-based securities. BMW, Ford and GM formed a blockchain coalition to develop the technology for the auto industry. Blockchain is even making waves in the art world. Once just a platform for bitcoin, blockchain is now expanding from its alt roots to radically transform staid bastions of world culture and commerce.

And yet very few people understand how it works — or what’s at stake.

This digestible, illuminating introduction to blockchain technology and culture will prepare you for the next digital revolution and the radical transformation of our world as we know it.
